Sabrejet Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Today was an awesome father's day treat, with nine, totally unexpected sportscars at the Bicester Scramble. They comprised three Lolas; a Sauber C11, the 1988 Le Mans-winning Jaguar XJR-9; a road-legal Porsche 962, a Peugeot 908, Bentley EXP Speed 8 and a Gibson/Morgan. There were also a few GTs sprinkled in there, but here are the sportscars first... 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coors54 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Bonus day there, is it me or does the third picture down (I'm not up on post 1990's racers) look like some sort of take on the Batmobile? 😄 But just like Formula 1 the aero requirements detract from the aesthetics of more modern endurance cars for me. I'd take a ride in that 962 in a heartbeat. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yes great photo's. We live in Buckingham just 12 miles from there, but I was on my way home from Portugal yesterday and missed it! I've seen the Heritage centre grow over the last few years into a centre for creativity for racing cars both new and old using the buildings of the Army/Airforce airfield which still has a thriving glider training centre. I hear that the Brabham family have their new sportscar facility there, hopefully towards Le Mans in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Thanks for those Sabrejet. Love the Silk Cut Jag.👍 Tamiya UK's twitter account, @TamiyaUK put some photos from their visit to Bicester. This photo stood out because of their model. Looks rather splendid. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned after I visited the April Bicester Sramble that I was worried it was becoming too corporate , but too be able to see such rare cars close up and unfenced is great . I live in the bomber county , North Lincolnshire to be precise and so many of the areas legendary bases have been shut and demolished without a thought of their history being celebrated, so to see Bicester being reused and not modernised along the way is fantastic to see . 👏👏👏 Gary.

Yes there were in fact two RSRs at Bicester; the other in lime green. Very tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 Interesting thing (maybe only for me) is that I'd seen the Morgan (built as a Pescarolo with chassis #12) twice before, and in different colours. At a wet Goodwood in 2012: and two years later, at Silverstone for the ELMS round: Even more coincidental, I have a 1/18 Spark model of this car. Very serendipitous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
